I’ve been blocked on Twitter before. It happens.
Sometimes I just want to know if someone muted me, blocked me, or deleted their account.
Twitter does not send alerts when someone blocks you.
So I had to figure it out on my own.
Here’s how I check who blocked me on Twitter.
I use simple manual checks first. Then I use tools if needed.
First, I Check Manually on Twitter
This is the fastest way. It’s free. No tools needed.
I Search for the Username
I type the username directly into Twitter search.
- If the profile shows up normally, I’m not blocked
- If it says “This account doesn’t exist,” that’s suspicious
To be sure, I log out or open an incognito window and search again.
- If I can see the profile while logged out, I know I’m blocked
- If I still can’t see it, the account may be deleted or suspended
This method works most of the time.
I Try to Visit the Profile Link
I type the profile URL directly, like this:
x.com/username
If I’m blocked, I see a clear message saying I can’t view the profile. Twitter doesn’t hide this very well.
I Check Old Replies or Mentions
If I remember replying to that person before, I check the old thread.
- If their name is gone
- Or shows as “@username” with no profile
That’s another strong sign I was blocked.
Twitter Lists (Free Trick)
This is a small trick I use.
I try adding the person to a private list.
- If Twitter blocks the action, I’m blocked
- If it works, I’m not blocked
This method still works in many cases.
What I Keep in Mind
There’s no 100 percent accurate way to see who blocked me.
Twitter limits this on purpose.
Tools rely on signals, not official data. So I always double-check manually.
If someone blocked me, I move on. It’s usually not personal.
That’s it. Simple steps. Clear answers. No guessing more than needed.
